Following its most tumultuous year, a class action now looms for Slater and Gordon as rival firm Maurice Blackburn embroils the firm in one of Australia's largest ever corporate class actions to date, acting on behalf of around 3,000 shareholders.

The claim will allege that shareholders were ill-informed on the acquisition of Quindell and the impact of UK legislation changes, stating that Slater and Gordon failed to disclose vital information in a timely manner.

In November, more than 43 per cent of shareholders voted against Slater and Gordon's remuneration report, a move which earned the firm its 'first strike'.

If more than 25 per cent of shareholders vote against the remuneration report at next year's AGM, Slater and Gordon will be hit with its 'second strike' and a board spill will occur.

In the meantime, the company has established a performance improvement program to combat its failures in the UK market.
